The Carleton Season.

Salt Lake seems likely to experience

during the next two weeks. Following
Booth, the master of the drama, comes

his most excellent company.
The comic opera season will
begin on Monday, April Is, and con-

CHICAGO, August 27.-A Cairo OILY
special says Southwestern Missouri is
in frenzy of excitement over the rail-
road land question, which has developed
some remarkable features. Many years
ago man named Miller, living in Blod-
gett, No., purchased large plot of
land from the Iron Mountain railroad,
which he occupied without molestation
for long period. For some reason
not known to the public the railroad
people epdeavored in various ways to
rid themselves of Miller, finally issuing
an order of ejectment. Miller at last
was induced to write to President
Cleveland explaining fully the circum-
stances by which he came into posses
sion of the property. An answer was
received in due time advising Miller to
retain possession of tho lands at all
hazards, stating further by reason OF
the failure of the railroad compaIE to
keep certain contracts with the Govern
ment they had forfeited all right and
title to them, and that the entire tracts
in possession of the railroad company
were subject to registration and occu-
patton by bona.tide settlers, the same as
any other Government lands. The
news spread like prairie fire, and it is
said that settlers are rushing into South
western Missouri and squatting on the
finest lands in the State. There are
thousands of acres OF land under this
statement of the case which will be
taken possession of by emigranA

Anthracite Coal Trade.


The anthracite trade continuesto i'm
prove as the season advances, and
though the maximum has not yet been
reached, either in production or sales,
there is sufficient business to take up
all coal going forward, and to diminish
the stocks at the tidewater shipping
points. The improvement is very
marked in the demand for the domestic
sizes, and this will continue to grow
better, as this variety is most active in
the fall and early winter months. The
call for the manufacturing sizes is
steady. and for some varieties hard to
fill. The trade altogether is in good
present shape, and the outlook for the
future unusually promising. The ship
ments for the year to August Goth ag-
gregated 81, 49l, 0l0 tons, an increase of
2,371.l64 tons compared with same
months last year.

CHICAGO, August PA special to
the Times from Columbia, s. g., says !:
Governor Richardson has commuted
the sentence of Oxey Cherry, twelve
year-old-girl, convicted of murder and
sentenced to be hanged in September,
TO imprisonment in the penitentiary for
five years. The Governor received O
large number of communications from
the North and Northwest pleading for
mercy for the child and asking that he
would allow no bloody stain to be Put
upon South Carolina and the United
States by the hanging of an infant.
He made a thorough examination of
the case and could find nothing but evil
dence of premeditated murder. The
girl was convicted OF killing a two
year-old- child by administering a dose
of concentrated lye. The Governor
appealed to the judge who passed the
sentence for his recommendations. The
Judge replied that a case of murder
had been made out, but that on account
of the tender ageof the girl he thought
she should not be hanged but I'M
prisoned for term Of Yeas.

a Sensation I'm Atlanta About His
Not Having Been Invited.

Not Having Been Invited.
An Atlanta (Ga.) special says: The
Atlanta Daily Capitol has created q
sensation by demanding that Jefferson
Davis should be invited to the Piedmont
Exposition to be held here in October,
and that by his hand President Cleve-
land should be welcomed. The Capt.
toll, answering the self-asked question,
"Why hasn't the ex- President been in
vited to the Piedmont Exposition ?"
says:
"Have the Atlantians, the very men
who paid homage to the grand old war
rior when he was the principal attrac-
ton in bringing to the city the largest
crowd ever here on any one occasion,
forgotten him T? Some of the men who
went to Alabama's capital city, Mont
gomery, and took the old gentleman by
the hand and pressed it in friendship,
and paid the ex-President homage by
telling him he was one of the grandest
old men the sun ever shone upon,
these are the men who appear to have
forgotten the Hon. JEFF. Davis, the man
they lionized less than two years ago
in this city. Talk of tickle women,
what would you consider this in man ?
Hypocritical, or the owner OF trea-
cherous memory? He has not been in
yited. Now, why has he been ne
elected? Is it because the Prohibition
lists are prsiudiced against him on &C.
count of the position he took in regard
to the question Of prohibition in the
Lone Star State ? Is that the reason
he has been forgotten by the Invitation
Committee of the Exposition Curl
osity would prompt many q man to visit
the exposition to see the man who is
fearless in expressing his views on any
important subject. the man who was
the only President the South ever had.
It would be q great attraction at the
exposition grounds TO have Mr.. Davis be
present on the same day Mr.. Cleveland
is to be here. 1t would be long remem-
bered, if this feeble old gentleman
could meet the nations ruler and
grasp him by the hand and extend to
President Cleveland and his wife well
come that would cause every ones heart
to flutter with excitement as his words
were heard by the immense audience
that would congregate to witness it.
The people from the North, the South,
the East, and the West would come to
witness this one act alone. Let Henry
w. Grady be the man to introduce ex-
President Davis to President Cleveland,
and this act alone will convince the North
that when their southern cousins ex-
tend welcome it is from the heart, and
show by their actions as well as by
words. 1t is only forty-five days until
this great southern show opens, and
every day that this invitation is post
poned is an opportunity lost that will
be hard to regain.
